Dual Monitor Problem

Post by rmdiv »

I have a laptop with a resolution of 1680x1050 and a secondary monitor with a resolution of 1600x1200. From a desktop computer I try to VNC to my laptop. Unfortunately, I can only see the main screen, i.e. 1680x1050 but not my secondary monitor.

I tried what was suggested in another thread (Mirror driver + tabed viewer 1.29 in full screen mode). Unfortunately, this does not help. Here is what I have installed:

UltraVnc-101-Setup.zip (on server & client)
UltraVnc-DriverSetup.zip (on server)
tabbed_vncviewer_129.exe (on client)

Under "Display adapters" I see "Winvnc video hook driver" (it does not say anything about mirror).

Note that the viewer 1.0.1 kind of works. When I click on "Select Full Desktop" twice I switch to the second display. Clicking on it again brings me back to the first screen. What I would like is one big screen, though. Also clicking on "Select Single Window" crashes both the server and client.

The main difference is that 1.0.1 is actually going into the full screen mode wheras 1.2.9 stays in window mode although I selected full screen.

Any input is appreciated.

Actually, it turns out it also works with 1.2.9. The flag for full screen mode in the login dialog does not have any affect, though. I have to toggle to full screen once a connection was established. Also the other problems mentioned still remain (need two clicks, etc).

The main remaining question now is how can I have one big (scrolling) desktop rather then individual screens for each physical screen?
